Call for papers - History

The First World War from Tripoli to Mogadishu (1912-1924)

"How, because of two wild beasts the world was set alight"

Writing the history of the first World War from an African perspective is the main ambition of this conference. The Global approach challenges the traditional center and periphery model. What we would like to suggest in this conference is the adoption of a combination of different scales of analysis: local, national and transnational. The goal of the conference is to bring together experts, academics, early-career historians and doctoral students from different disciplines to share new scholarly work and to enrich the history of the first World War in Africa and the Middle East.

From a Sudan to Another

Political and Social Restructuring Underway

The CEDEJ-Khartoum and the CFEE-Addis Ababa are organizing a roundtable conference in Addis Ababa on June 10-12, 2013 regarding Sudans’ reconstruction. The separation between the two Sudans in July 2011 opens new research fields in social sciences. The analysis themes regarding ongoing political and social restructuration are various, and for a majority of them, not much studied, given the recentness of the partition. Therefore, the CEDEJ-Khartoum and the CFEE-Addis Ababa launched a scientific dialogue process on Sudans. That work finds its originality in the will to give an academic content to the debate, often missing in official talks. Moreover, this process of prolific scientific meetings contributes to compensate for the lack of current and searched academic works led by Sudanese and South Sudanese researchers together. The 2013 conference aims at opening the debate to a large panel discussion, in the perspective of publishing the conference’s proceedings.

From A Sudan to Another

Political and Social Restructuring Underway

The separation of the two Sudans in July 2011 created as many opportunities as it aroused difficulties and threats, therefore opening new research fields in Social Sciences. The themes of analysis regarding political and social reshuffling are many, and for a majority of them, yet to study. The CEDEJ-Khartoum and the CFEE-Addis Ababa are willing to give an academic content to the debate, which official talks often miss to address; and to convey discussions between Sudanese and South Sudanese scholars, as well as international specialists of the region.

Territoires d'Éthiopie. Histoires, espaces, pouvoirs

L’histoire des territoires de l’Éthiopie s’est souvent écrite du point de vue du pouvoir central, l’État chrétien, par un biais inhérent à la documentation employée. Effectivement, la majeure partie des textes historiques sont le produit de l’État central et livrent par conséquent une vision centrée et idéalisée de la construction de cet État depuis le XIIIe siècle jusqu’à nos jours. Le propos de ce colloque est de décentrer le regard afin d’examiner les relations qui unissent un souverain installé dans une région centrale mobile et un espace constitué de multiples territoires qui n’ont pas tous le même statut ni le même degré d’interaction avec l’administration royale. La particularité de ce colloque est d’envisager la territorialisation de ces espaces dans son rapport au temps, particulièrement en considérant les utilisations politiques de l’histoire.
